[QUOTE="Booneville, post: 1044288, member: 20815"] Dogs are linebreed more than any other animal I know of. Normally with dogs you take 2 dogs from the same breed, breed them together, cull the one's you don't want or don't have what your looking for and breed the pups back to something within that line to strenghthen it. I don't know about cattle as I've never done this but line breeding is an art as much as a science. I've got friends who have line breeding german shepards for 20+ years and they normally only keep 10-15 dogs at any time. They have never gone off their yard to breed unless they see something they really like. You get to close together in your pedigree and you'll find out what happens when you got messed up animals. Might not be noticable at first but it'll show eventually. [/QUOTE]
